TL;DR: there is no equivalent, because it's not needed.
JInput data is by default a reference to $_REQUEST, so it dosen't have own unset method, because it is not needed. Although it would be nice to have $input->unset('variable1'); for completness of API.
You should use plain PHP, e.g unset($_REQUEST['variable1']);. If you have your variable in $_GET, you can unset by that, if you prefer.
Although you can always use $input->set('variable1', null);, but this way PHP carbage collector won't free memory, since variable is still defined.
